Performance Evaluation of Wi-Fi Network

Safaa Elnour Ibrahim, Dr. Khalid Hamid Bilal

Abstract: Wi-Fi networks are played important role today in wireless communications and preferred from other wireless technologies because of its high bit rate and large bandwidth. The objectives of this paper are to study, analyze, plan and simulate the Wi-Fi network to evaluate the performance of Wi-Fi network using Matlab simulink software program. The parameters, used for the evaluation, are Additive White Gaussian Noise (AWGN) and Flat fading. The performance evaluation is explored in terms of Packet Error Rate (PER) ratio versus the Signal to Noise Ratio (SNR) in dB in graphical form.
